I have implemented through jQuery the placeholder HTML 5 attribute for the browsers that don't support it (all except webkit at this time).

Hello, On mouse-down (and up) I need to check which mouse button has changed its state. This is pretty easy with the W3C model and even the old netscape way (event.which) but IE gives me a headache.
